Representatives of these chambers of commerce, as notaries who witnessed the birth of the Seven Seas King, were responsible for conveying the orders of the new Seven Seas King to overseas territories, as long as the merchants who were willing to do business within the Seven Seas Alliance's sphere of influence were required to abide by the rules set by the Seven Seas Alliance and pay taxes and fees in order to obtain the Seven Seas Alliance's armed protection and a certain share of the market.

After the election of the Seven Seas Heavenly King, the election assembly was followed by a new maritime trade tax and a plan for the co-optation and eradication of disobedient pirates in various places.

The election meeting of the Seven Seas Heavenly King can be said to be a redivision of the territory of the sea forces, and all those who are qualified to sit on this high platform are people who have strong power themselves, and the gang that can win the election is the best among them, once they grasp the Cui Chengxiu token that commands the seven seas, the elected gang will inevitably take advantage of the situation to become the most powerful Jianghu organization on the sea.

Cui Chengxiu, as the advocate and founder of the Seven Seas Alliance, integrated the four most powerful maritime gangs of the Dajing Dynasty, used huge force and financial resources to quell the sabotage forces in various parts of the sea, and incorporated the declining maritime affairs of the Dajing Dynasty into the business scope of the rivers and lakes.

This is also the reason why Duan Qianqiu admires him extremely much.

What's even more rare is that Cui Chengxiu did not make this maritime alliance popular, and did not violate the taboos of the imperial court, so as to maximize the situation that the Seven Seas Alliance has not been in a confrontation with the imperial court since its establishment.

His teachings and forbearance, his martial arts and talent all made him a well-deserved king of the sea.

Therefore, all the people of the oath unanimously agreed that the honorific title of the Seven Seas Heavenly King, who was elected every eight years, when issuing his order, should be named after him.

It is the king of the seven seas who is elected in each term is called Choi Sung-so!

The conference is about to begin.

For a time, the cave was full of crowns, and all kinds of sea tycoons and wealthy businessmen gathered together in order to elect a convincing sea king who could lead the group.

Contrary to the lively atmosphere of the conference, Cui Chengxiu, the core figure of this conference, looked dull and dazed, and sat on top of the chief with a sick look.

Although Concubine Hua Yun, the elder of the Shanhai Sect, explained and explained Cui Chengxiu's injury many times, everyone still felt very regretful, and they also hated the government that injured Cui Chengxiu.

Compared with Cui Chengxiu's decadent Tang Dynasty, Gao Shuyun looks radiant and high-spirited, he is a popular candidate for this session of the Seven Seas Heavenly King, and he is deeply expected.

Zhang Xiaotang still laughed and scolded as usual, and he kept joking with the people around him while sitting on the seat, looking very carefree.

All three of them were the leaders of the gang and sat in the front seats, and they were accompanied by the deputies of the gang's ranks.

Naturally, the Shanhai Sect sitting next to Cui Chengxiu is the elder of the council hall, Concubine Hua Yunfei (her current name is Hua Qingyan).

There is also their deputy alliance advocate Jingyi on the East China Sea Alliance, who is Zhang Xiaotang's younger brother.

Sitting next to Gao Shuyun of the Sky Gang was Qin Tiexiao, the hall master of the Iron Blood Hall, and there was an empty seat, which was originally reserved for Master Mingyu.

But when the conference was about to be held, Ming Yushi excused himself and said that he was unwell and didn't want to come. Gao Shuyun was a little disappointed when he saw that his new wife could not witness the glory of his imminent ascension to the throne of the Heavenly King of the Seven Seas, so he sent someone from the gang to invite him!

There was also a stone table seat reserved for the Whale Gang, but it was less than a pillar of incense before the official start of the conference, and none of them had yet arrived.

At this time, an old man named Nannick with a curly beard and dark complexion on the high platform stood up and began to speak, he was a representative of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, participated in the election of the first King of the Seven Seas, and he was very fluent in Chinese: "All the people of the sea, all the heroes and heroes of the sea, we are fortunate to gather here, for the peace of our sea and the birth of our new king, I hope that the king of the sea can let us shed less blood and make more money......" His words were sonorous and powerful, subdued and frustrated, and the content was simple and interesting, which won a lot of laughter and applause from the audience.

Nanik smiled and raised his hand to silence everyone, and then said loudly: "Now I declare the election meeting officially open, and if the representatives of the Whale Gang do not arrive within half an hour, they will be deemed to have given up the election qualifications." Since Lord Choi Sung-so was the previous King of the Sea, according to his own rules, the previous King could not run for election. Therefore, the two adults who were present in the East China Sea Alliance, Xiao Tang, and Gao Shuyun, the leader of the Sky Gang, will run for the Sea King. ”

"Now let me talk about the rules of election. ”

"Every candidate has one vote, and they can vote for themselves or for someone else. The previous Sea King also had one vote, but he could not vote for himself, only for others. The one with the most votes is elected, and if the two votes are equal, three members of the gang are elected by each side to pass three martial arts competitions, and the winner of the three games is elected. ”

After listening to this rule, Duan Qianqiu, who was hidden in the crowd under the high platform, thought to himself: "Although there are many loopholes in this rule, it is conducive to balancing the interests of all parties, and it is simple and easy to implement, as long as the candidates are not too selfish, the implementation is quite smooth." ”

On the stage, Nanik glanced at Cui Chengxiu at this time and said: "At such an important conference, Lord Cui Chengxiu was originally going to give us a speech, but Lord Cui Chengxiu was injured in the recent naval battle with the government and it is inconvenient to speak, so today's conference will be presided over by me, Nanik." ”

Nanik is a veteran of the Seven Seas Alliance, so no one has any objections.

At this time, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded outside the cave: "Nanik, you are in such a hurry to announce the start of the conference, do you want to kick our Whale Gang out?"

Duan Qianqiu followed everyone to look at the entrance of the cave, only to see a group of people rushing in from outside the cave, and the person led by was Zeng Hanzhi, the current leader of the Giant Whale Gang.

After he entered the cave, he lined up the people under the stage, and came to the stone table on the stage and sat down, followed by a gang member of the Giant Whale Gang, whose face was resolute, burly, and walked with tiger steps, very powerful, if not everyone knew that Zeng Hanzhi was the gang leader, they would mistakenly think that he was the gang leader. According to Zeng Hanzhi's introduction, this person is now Wu San, the deputy gang leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
